In fact, research shows that players with spinal stenosis are at no greater risk of devastating spinal cord injury than any other player with a normal-sized spinal canal. This flies in the face of what one could logically expect, but it is indeed the case.

Pompei reports that orthepedist Craig Brigham examined Jones and, in a report that was sent to NFL teams, said Jones doesn't have spinal stenosis but instead "either had a very mild incident of spinal cord concussion or merely a stinger that has long since resolved," according to the Pompei.

Brigham's report told teams that even if Jones suffered another similar injury that "it would not be a career-ending issue."
"Jarvis is cleared to play without restriction," Brigham's report concluded.

Irvin with twelve years in the NFL? That ain't easy to do for anybody. I will take 12 good years out of Jones and be glad the Steelers paid him for it! At any rate, to beat the competition, or gain notoriety, , one must take risks, at anything in life. I have no problem with the Steelers taking a risk on Jones. If it does not work out, it does not work out. They took the player that best fit their needs at the time.

Ssshhh. You two need to be quite. I don't want you tipping off the rest of the league. Right now, we are considered an old and done team. Let it remain that way until week # 8 of the season when we're 6-2 and leading the division.
